3. There are several risk factors for coronary artery disease. For each risk factor listed, mark whether it is <M=
, modifiable or <N= non-modifiable.
4. Based on the history you have so far, circle the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in Question 3 that
apply to G.P.

Case Study Progress
When you first admit G.P., the nurse places the client on telemetry and observes his cardiac rhythm. The rhythm
has periods of faster rates than below.
8. Identify the rhythm: (6 second strip) after answering the questions below to analyze the
rhythm. • Rate: What is the rate? 90
• Regularity: Is the rate regular or irregular? Measure regularity using R waves. Irregular •
P-Wave examination: Is there a P wave before each QRS? No P wave
• P to R interval: Measure P to R interval, is it within normal limits? Is it consistent? No PR interval •
QRS width: Is the QRS narrow or wide? Measure the duration of the QRS complex. ( 0.04-0.06
